Crystal Palace are unbeaten in each of their last six meetings with Millwall across all competitions (W3 D3), and could go seven without loss to their London rivals for only the second time in their history (after October 1986 to September 1993).
This will be the first-ever League Cup meeting between Millwall and Crystal Palace, but the third domestic cup tie between the pair across the last five seasons, with the Lions losing out to the Eagles in the FA Cup in both 2021-22 (third round) and 2024-25 (fifth round).
Crystal Palace have won nine of their last 10 major domestic cup (FA/League Cup) ties (L1), while they have progressed from each of their last 10 against lower league opposition since a penalty shootout loss to Bournemouth in the 2020-21 League Cup second round.
Millwall are looking to reach the fourth round of the League Cup for only the second time this century, having previously done so in 2005-06 under Colin Lee. Since then, the Lions have lost five straight round three ties, with each of the last four coming against Premier League opposition.
